Abstract

Thin films of titanium dioxie (TiO₂) were deposited on glass using a single molecular precursor such as titanium (IV) iso-propoxide (Ti[OCH(CH₃)₂]₄, 97%) by sol-gel processing. In order to elevate photocatalytic activity of the as-grown TiO₂ films, oxygen plasma ignited by radio-frequency (RF) under vacuum condition was also used in the range of 50∼200 W within 0.5 h at room temperature. During toluene and phenol removal test, photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the measurements of the UV/vis. irradiation, infrared spectroscopy, XPS, and contact angle analysis. In this work, the effect of the plasma on the improvement of hydrophilic property of photocatalyst has mainly been investigated. A superhydrophilic property and smooth surface morphology appeared in the UV light irradiation with O₂ plasma treatment. Based on this work, we confirmed that the oxygen RF plasma treatment method was very reliable method for the synthesis of TiO₂ photocatalyst with high catalytic performance and long durability.
